Changes to disability reporting in annual reports

From 2010–11, departments and agencies were no longer required to report on their performance under the Commonwealth Disability Strategy, which was overtaken by the National Disability Strategy 2010–2020. This strategy sets out a 10-year national policy framework to improve the lives of people with a disability, promote participation and create a more inclusive society.

A high level two-yearly report will track progress against each of the six outcome areas of the strategy and present a picture of how people with disability are faring. The first of these reports will be available in late 2014, and can be found at www.dss.gov.au.
